Amosa is too nice to publicly flog someone else but the word coming out from the Ewa community is that overseeing Athletics at Campbell, has passed the AD by years ago. The biggest school enrollment in the state and the AD allows only 1 bus. Trying cramming 55 kids in 1 bus and limiting the team numbers. Considering the impact of FB on the kids on campus in terms of discipline, campus control, school spirit, building self esteem, community pride, etc, one would try to get as many kids involved as the program would allow/handle. This decision which their school Principal had to concur with, is UNBELIEVABLE! As mentioned before, prospective HC candidates better think twice if they want to work under a dysfunctional Administration as such. Our Heart goes out to you Coach Amosa, Campbell HS is losing a Son of Campbell and a great Coach, Pastor, Educator, Community Leader!

I’m retired now, but at the high school where I taught, if our football coach went 56-41 in nine seasons and went 7-5 this past year with a D1 tournament appearance, we’d practically throw him and the team a parade! We were lucky if we even finished above .500. Guess Amosa didn’t win any state championship so it was a program fail.

So sorry to read this article. I can’t believe that the DOE is now becoming like St. Louis. Our childrens education is very, very important and sports are like a side dish. I enjoy just watching high school football regardless of who wins or loses. I think Campbell is a very good PUBLIC school and the coach is a very good coach as to what I have observed. I just can’t believe that this is happening, because Campbell, I though is a public school not a private and I thought only private schools fire coaches. I guess I was wrong. Big mistake and I can see that from the AD point that education is not a factor here anymore, sports are. Why to go Mr. AD. and the principal of the school.

What a class act. Good luck to Amosa in his future. To all those who railed about recruiting by the ILH, witness now how important winning is in the OIA. The man has a solid winning record at a school that mostly lost before he got there. Do you really believe that changing the coach at Campbell is all it’ll take at the school?

amazing, all positive comments about a very, very, very……good man. what a lost to campbell and the positive influence he has for the kids. i am of ilh, and no connection to campbell. but because he is the coach, i cheered for them to win; even, if not by the score.

I remember talking to Amosa Amosa in an elevator maybe 20 years ago downtown, at the time he was working for a courier company delivering documents all over down town. Back then I thought what a great and personable guy. I don’t know him but just from the brief 3 minutes we talked, he impressed me, I came away thinking, this guy has his head on straight and is deemed to do great things in our community. Amosa, thanks for all that you do for our community, I know you will find other avenues to guide our young men and women and yes your father taught you well!
